The presenter tried to turn it to the Villa perspective and it fairness Crook was quite complimentary about us, but Keown just kept on about Arsenal. Such clear bias to the point of not being able to do your job properly should result in the sack.Agreed.Keown might have as well worn an Arsenal shirt.Garth Crooks seems always to be fair and makes some astute comments,completely different to his infamous interviews of players.

Now there's two words that one rarely sees in the same sentence.
It was a penalty, but I'm only saying that because of the MOTD knee thing, before that I thought it was never a pen and we got lucky
10 minutes to go and Wilshere goes down in the area, was up the other end and was sure he was going to give a pen, was it a dive?
The rules haven't changed. Gabby was taken out before the ball was even touched, even then you have to at least take the ball away from the run of the player for it to be a proper tackle before you hack the player down. Definite penalty and very good refereeing.
Well according to Bluenoses and Greavsie, Luna must have been offside for the 3rd goal.

Definite penalty and very good refereeing.Not quite D. Johnson slid in and touched the ball, but only edged it invitingly into Gabby's path. On the follow through he brought Gab down. The fact that it was a penalty even though he touched the ball first was beyond the comprehension of every single bluenose in the world.
